5 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS CAUTION When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Grease may catch fire if it becomes too hot. Do not use water or flour on grease fires. Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher. Cover the fire with a pan lid or use baking soda. Use dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholders touch hot cooking areas. Do not use towels or other bulky cloths. Do not heat unopened food containers - Build-up of pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury. Wear proper apparel - Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable materials contact hot surfaces. Do not touch surface elements or elements, areas near these burners or elements, interior surfaces of the oven, or the warmer drawer (if equipped). Surface burners and elements may be hot even though they appear cool. Areas near surface burners and elements may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials touch these areas until they are cool. These areas may include the cooktop, surfaces facing the cooktop, oven vent areas, oven door, and oven window. Do not attempt to operate the appliance during a power failure. If the power fails, always turn off the appliance. If the appliance is not turned off and the power resumes, electric surface elements may resume operation when power is restored. Once the power resumes, reset the clock and the oven function. IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR RADIANT COOKTOP Know which knob or key controls each surface heating area. Place cookware with food on the cooking area before turning it on. Turn the cooking area off before removing the cookware. Cookware handles should be turned inward and not extend over adjacent surface elements To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of the cookware should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over other cooking areas. Use proper pan size - This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different sizes. Select cookware with flat bottoms that match the surface unit size. Using the proper cookware on the cooking area will improve efficiency. Glazed cooking utensils Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer s recommendations for cooktop use. Improper cookware may break due to sudden changes in temperature. Check the cookware manufacturer s recommendations for cooktop use. Improper cookware may break due to sudden changes in temperature. Check the cookware manufacturer s recommendations for cooktop use. Never leave surface elements unattended. Boil-overs may cause smoking and greasy spills that may ignite. A pan that has boiled dry could be damaged and may damage the cooktop. Do not use a searing grill meant for use with a broiler pan on the cooktop. The searing grill is not designed for use on the cooktop. Doing so may result in a fire. When you are flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn on the fan IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR GLASS AND CERAMIC COOKTOPS Do Not Clean or Operate a Broken Cooktop. If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately. Clean cooktop glass with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can produce harmful fumes if applied to a hot surface. Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp objects. IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN Protective liners Do not use aluminum foil, aftermarket oven liners, or any other materials or devices to line oven bottom, oven racks, or any other part of the appliance. Only use aluminum as recommended for baking, such as lining cookware or as a cover placed on food. Any other use of protective liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock or fire or a short circuit. Use care when opening oven door, lower oven door, or warmer drawer (some models). Stand to the side of the appliance when opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or replace food in the oven. 5

6 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. Touching surfaces in this area when the oven is on may cause severe burns. Do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These items can melt or ignite. Placement of oven racks - Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot burner or element in oven. Use potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Remove all cookware and utensils before moving the rack. Do not use a broiler pan without its insert. Broiler pans and inserts allow dripping fat to drain away from the high heat of the broiler. Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil; exposed fat and grease could ignite. Do not cook food on the oven bottom. Always cook in proper cookware and always use the oven racks. IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR APPLIANCE CAUTION Before manually cleaning any part of the appliance, be sure all controls are turned off and the range is cool. Cleaning a hot oven can cause burns. Clean the appliance regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire. Do not allow grease to accumulate. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire. Always follow the manufacturer s recommended directions for use of kitchen cleaners and aerosols. Be aware that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing damage and injury. Clean ventilating hoods frequently - Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter. Follow the manufacturer s instructions for cleaning vent hoods. Before using self clean, remove the broiler pan, any food, utensils, and cookware from the oven, storage drawer or warming drawer (if equipped). Remove oven racks unless otherwise instructed. Some birds are extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self clean cycle of any oven. Move birds to another well-ventilated room. IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in the manuals. All other servicing should be done only by a qualified technician. This reduces the risk of personal injury and damage to the appliance.

IMPORTANT Important Safety Notice - The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the governor of California to publish a list of substances known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harms, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposures to such substances. IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR SELF CLEANING OVENS Do not clean the oven door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or move the gasket. Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the appliance. Use the self clean cycle to clean only the parts listed in this manual. 6

7 BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS Oven vent location The oven vent is located under the left side of the control panel (See Fig. 1). When the oven is on, warm air passes through this vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results. Do not block the oven vent. oven vent location Types of oven racks Your range may be equipped with one or more of the oven rack styles shown. flat handle oven rack flat oven rack Fig. 1 Removing, replacing & arranging racks To remove - pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up front of rack and slide out. To replace - fit the rack onto the guides on the oven walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward and slide the rack back into place. Arranging - always arrange the oven racks when the oven is cool (prior to operating the oven). CAUTION Always use oven mitts when using the oven. When using the appliance, oven racks and cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns offset oven rack The flat oven rack or flat handle oven rack (some models) may be used for most cooking needs. The offset oven rack (some models) is designed to place the base of the rack about 1/2 of a rack position lower than normal. This rack design provides several additional possible locations between the standard positions. Air circulation in the oven For best baking results allow 2-4 (5-10 cm) around the cookware for proper air circulation and be sure pans and cookware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or back of the oven cavity. Hot air must be able to circulate around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat to reach around the food. Baking layer cakes with 1 or 2 oven racks For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks, place cookware on rack positions 2 & 5 (See Fig. 1). For best results when using a single oven flat rack, place cookware on rack position 5 (See Fig. 2). Fig. 2 Recommended rack positions by food type Food type Position Broiling meats See broil Cookies, cakes, pies, biscuits & muffins 3 or 4 Frozen pies, angel food cake, yeast, bread and casseroles 2 or 3 Small cuts of meat or poultry 2 or 3 Turkey, roast or ham 1 or 2 Fig. 1 Fig. 2 7

8 BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS About the ceramic glass cooktop The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements located below the surface of the glass. The design of the ceramic cooktop outlines the area of the surface element underneath. Be sure to match the pan size with the diameter of the element outline on the cooktop and only flat-bottomed cookware should be used. The type and size of cookware, the number of surface elements in use and their settings are all factors that will affect the amount of heat that will spread to areas beyond the surface elements. The areas surrounding the elements may become hot enough to cause burns. About the radiant surface elements The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the temperature rises, the element will glow red. To maintain the selected setting the element will cycle ON and OFF. The heating element retains enough heat to provide a uniform and consistent heat during the off cycle. element ON indicator light Fig. 1 hot surface indicator light For efficient cooking, turn OFF the element several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process. Element ON & hot surface indicator lights Your appliance is equipped with two different types of radiant surface control indicator lights that will glow on the backguard the on indicator light and the hot surface indicator light. The element on indicator light will glow when any surface element is turned ON. A quick glance at this indicator light after cooking is an easy check to be sure the surface controls are turned OFF (See Fig. 1). The hot surface indicator light will glow when any surface cooking area heats up and will remain on until the glass cooktop has cooled to a MODERATE level (See Fig. 2). NOTES Fig. 2 Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to cycle ON and OFF, even at the HI setting. This helps to prevent damage to the ceramic smoothtop. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and will occur more often if the cookware is too small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not flat. Be sure to read the detailed instructions for ceramic glass cooktop cleaning in the Care & Cleaning and Before You Call checklist sections of this Use & Care Manual. 8

9 BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS Types of cooktop elements The ceramic glass cooktop has radiant surface elements located below the surface of the glass. The patterns on the ceramic glass will outline the size and type of element available. The single radiant element will have one round outline pattern shown (keep warm zone is designed to keep food warm only). The dual radiant element is expandable; you may set the smaller inner portion as a single element or both inner and outer portions may be set to heat together (See Fig. 1). Using proper cookware The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting needed for best cooking results. Be sure to follow the recommendations for using proper cookware as illustrated in Figs. 2 & 3. Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface heating element (See Fig. 2). Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (See Fig. 3). For more information about the ceramic cooktop see Cooktop Cleaning & Maintenance in the Care & Cleaning section. Keep warm zone surface control (some models) Single radiant surface control Fig. 1 Dual radiant surface control (some models) Cookware material types The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan bottom. The most popular materials available are: Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining & pitting). If aluminum pans slide across the ceramic cooktop, they may leave metal marks which will resemble scratches. Remove these marks immediately. Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily. May leave metal marks on ceramic glass (see Aluminum). Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining. Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor however will retain heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached. Not recommended for use on ceramic cooktops. Fig. 2 Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics will vary depending on base material. Porcelain-enamel coating must be smooth to avoid scratching ceramic cooktops. Glass - Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for ceramic cooktop surfaces because it may scratch the glass. Fig. 3 9

10 SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS Single radiant surface elements To operate the single radiant element: 1. Place correctly sized cookware on single radiant surface element. 2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either direction (Fig. 2) to the desired setting (Refer to the Suggested radiant surface element settings table Fig. 1). Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. The surface control knobs do not have to be set exactly on a particular spot. Use the graphics provided as a guide and adjust the control knob as needed (See Fig. 2). Each surface element provides a constant amount of heat at each setting. A glowing red surface heating area extending beyond the bottom edge of the cookware indicates the cookware is too small for the surface heating area. 3. When cooking is complete, turn the radiant surface element OFF before removing the cookware. Suggested radiant surface element settings The suggested settings found in Fig.1 below are based when cooking with medium-weight aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans. Suggested settings for single and dual radiant elements table Settings High (HI - 9) Medium high (7-8) Type of cooking Start most foods, bring water to a boil, pan broiling Continue a rapid boil, fry, deep fat fry CAUTION Fig. 2 Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. The glass surface may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently. Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the range when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the surface elements. IMPORTANT Do not allow aluminum foil, or ANY material that can melt to make contact with the ceramic glass cooktop. If these items melt on the cooktop they will damage the ceramic cooktop. Medium (5-6) Medium Low (2-4) Low (LO - 1) Maintain a slow boil, thicken sauces and gravies or steam vegetables Keep foods cooking, poach, stew Keep warm, melt, simmer Fig. 1 NOTES The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and type of food being cooked will influence the setting needed for best cooking results. The on indicator light will glow when one or more elements are turned ON. A quick glance at this indicator light when cooking is finished is an easy check to be sure all control knobs are turned OFF. The hot surface indicator light will continue to glow AFTER the control knob is turned to the OFF position and will glow until the heating surface area has cooled sufficiently. 10

11 SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS Dual radiant surface elements (some models) Symbols on the backguard are used to indicate which coil of the dual radiant element will heat. The symbol indicates the inner coil only. The symbol indicates both inner and outer coils will heat. To operate a dual radiant element: 1. Place correctly sized cookware on dual radiant surface element. 2. Push in and turn the surface control knob clockwise to begin heating both the inner and outer portions of the dual element. If only the inner heating portion is needed like for smaller cookware, push in and turn the knob counter-clockwise to start. 3. When cooking is complete, turn the dual radiant surface element OFF before removing the cookware. Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. The surface control knobs do not have to be set exactly on a particular mark. Use the marks as a guide and adjust the control knob as needed. A glowing red surface heating area extending beyond the bottom edge of the cookware indicates the cookware is too small for the surface heating area. You may switch from either coil setting at any time during cooking. See Suggested radiant surface element settings table on previous page. CAUTION Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. The glass surface may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently. Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the range when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the surface elements. Heating with inner (small) element only Heating with both elements Areas that heat are shown darkened. Fig. 1 Fig. 2 NOTES The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and type of food being cooked will influence the setting needed for best cooking results. The on indicator light will glow when one or more elements are turned ON. A quick glance at this indicator light when cooking is finished is an easy check to be sure all control knobs are turned OFF. The hot surface indicator light will continue to glow AFTER the control knob is turned to the OFF position and will glow until the heating surface area has cooled sufficiently. IMPORTANT Do not allow aluminum foil, or ANY material that can melt to make contact with the ceramic glass cooktop. If these items melt on the cooktop they will damage the ceramic cooktop. 11

12 SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS Keep Warm Zone (some models) The purpose of the keep warm zone is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Use the keep warm feature to keep cooked foods hot such as; vegetables, gravies, casseroles, soups, stews, breads, pastries and oven-safe dinner plates. Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold food on the keep warm zone. All food placed on the warming zone should be covered with a lid to maintain quality. For best results, when warming pastries or breads, the cover should have an opening to allow moisture to escape. Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the surface and be very difficult to clean. Use only dishware, utensils and cookware recommended for oven and cooktop use on the keep warm zone. Setting the Keep Warm zone 1. Push in the keep warm control knob in either direction (See Fig 1). The temperatures are approximate, and are designated by hi and lo. However, the control can be set at any position between hi and lo for different levels of warming. 2. When ready to serve, turn the control to OFF. The keep warm zone indicator light will remain ON until the keep warm zone surface area has cooled sufficiently. Temperature selection - Refer to the keep warm zone recommended food settings table (See Fig. 2). If a particular food is not listed, start with the medium level, and adjust as needed. Most foods can be kept at serving temperatures by using the medium level. Keep warm zone recommended food settings table Food Item CAUTION Heating Level Breads/Pastries LO (Low) Casseroles LO (Low) Dinner Plates with Food LO (Low) Eggs LO (Low) Gravies LO (Low) Meats MED (Medium) Sauces MED (Medium) Soups (cream) MED (Medium) Stews MED (Medium) Vegetables MED (Medium) Fried Foods HI (High) Hot Beverages HI (High) Soups (liquid) HI (High) Fig. 2 Unlike the surface elements, the keep warm zone will not glow red when it is hot. Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the keep warm zone as cookware and plates will be hot. Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. The glass surface may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently. Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the range when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the surface elements. IMPORTANT Fig. 1 (with approximate setting for medium shown) Do not allow aluminum foil, or ANY material that can melt to make contact with the ceramic glass cooktop. If these items melt on the cooktop they will damage the ceramic cooktop. 12

13 SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS Home Canning Be sure to read and observe all the following points when home canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) website and be sure to read all the information they have available as well as follow their recommendations for home canning procedures. Use only quality flat bottom canners when home canning. Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom (see Cookware material types in the Before setting surface controls section). Use only a completely flat bottom canner with no ridges that radiate from the bottom center when home canning using a ceramic cooktop. Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed 1 inch beyond the surface element markings or burner. It is recommended to use smaller diameter canners on electric coil and ceramic glass cooktops. Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more quickly. CAUTION Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. The glass surface may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently. Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the range when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the surface elements. IMPORTANT Do not allow aluminum foil, or ANY material that can melt to make contact with the ceramic glass cooktop. If these items melt on the cooktop they will damage the ceramic cooktop. Use the highest heat seating when first bringing the water to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest possible setting to maintain that boil. IMPORTANT NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over 2 different surface cooking areas at the same time. This may cause the ceramic cooktop to fracture. 13
